What is Taboo for You?

you explained it quite well...
a secret..I really wasn't confused I just wanted to hear it from you
and yes I did notice that about the activity and I kept thinking to myself both are ok I guess because altho I do not like my government doesn't make them wrong it just means that they are wrong for me...
I see something very wrong with the idea that americans feel they have the right to interfere with other peoples choices, if its not causing any harm and by no means am i including social standard harm...then why should we be able to punish people for certain things
incest included...I am not all for that type of thing but other then what sociaty says is wrong and also what my religion has taught me but that doesn't mean that it causes any harm...
morality and harm are so blurred in thier relationship to one another...imo
I chose to side with the idea that something can be morally wrong even if it is done privately and it causes no harm but that is somewhat the yuck factor acting out in me...that and deep seated fear I have from growing up lurthern...
I was taught that if you did those kind of immoral things then you will burn...ugh hmmmm
I am blabbering on again..yea sorry bout that
but anyway what do you think is taboo...I see that you tipped the scales a bit into the permissive but is there anything that you do find taboo or shoot for that sake did you atleast get some of the icky feeling I got from that whole frozen section?

 

why not let them?...... they do have a sense of life enough to try to keep it....
don't get me wrong - i respect your opinion, i just think there's a hole there...
peace all

 

I've conditioned myself more and more to not be judgemental. I have to be 1. In a really low mood and/or 2. Really angry or emotionaly distrubed before I can bring myself to judge people.

 

I cant help myself to other people's kitchens. Me and my friend always smoke together, and he always eats at my house but i cant at his. Not cuz he wont let me just cuz it feels weird.

 

Taboo for me = Telling lies..... just something i cant do...not only for moral reasons...its also something i'm no good at... sometimes i'm asked a direct question i so dont want to give an honest answer to but my body language is one step ahead of my mouth so theres no point in even trying.
Add to my list the killing of ANY life..human or otherwise - but wait...there are exceptions to this for me... If my quality of life were to become so badly compromised that i lived in constant physical suffering then i would want to end my life with dignity. i'm not sure if i cou7ld apply this to other living creatures...but i dont think i could see anyone or any animal suffer if there was no hope of recovery....UK

 

i dont actively support the killing of animals (though i do eat meat). but if they are killed humanely, ive got no quarrel.

 

killilng an animal is quite natural and pian free and often quick, what is the real misery si the way the have to endure life while alive.... that's why i won't eat farm animal (but i don't mind eating hunted animals, if hunted in a decent way), and i avoid milk product...

 

i got .25, .00 and .00 - all of the questions included the individual hiding and or lying about what they had done - this is what made them wrong in my mind... (with the exception of the girl knocking down the little boy) but there is no allowance for the specifac part of the scenario that i found morally wrong......wonder if it makes a difference.....who knows

peace all,

 

that was an interesting test. my results were:

Your Moralising Quotient is: 0.08.

Your Interference Factor is: 0.00.

Your Universalising Factor is: 0.00.

i had an "ick factor" response, i won't deny it. i would never participate in deliberate murder (not to say i won't kill at all, though), i don't lie deliberately very well, incest is icky, and i don't like inflicting pain on people. i also refuse to remain silent when i think there's an injustice being performed in front of me.

 

i have "at times" had similar feelings...so strongly against wanting to hurt any living thing but then when a fly lands on me i wanna kill the lil thing...orther then that i definetly think that one goes right to the core...like you said its something deep inside me....not everyone is like this tho and even i have times whan i can seriously contimplate killing those times happen to be when i am imaging sanarios that depict myself or my loved ones being put in iminent danger but none the less i can imagine it.

anyway yea about the chicken i was talking with a friend about it the other night and now i think blahhh whatever about it....
just grrr tho that is icky kinky

 

milking cows is humane. if you dont milk them, their udders get fucked up and the cows get sick. the cows are not gonna be let out, so you may as well milk em

 

i dont think insects have feelings

 

This thread rocks, let's see where society has taken us....
my no-no's:
murder
incest
cannibalism
beastiality
lying
farting
physical fighting... i might think of more

 

um. no. not really. you're kidding? there's like, swaths of info being left out of your rationale. mind you, i'm not vegetarian, i love milk and milk products.

 

did i say they did

hmmm...maybe i did
haha btw i luv that pic of you in yer sig

wtf...farting is taboo
i thought it was well something that just happens...ya know like you eat...gasses build...and well your body releases it

ha haa farting ... im just teasin

 

i don't fart in public. i remove myself from the group. after all, the smell is actually tiny particles of your shit floating in the air and physically attaching themselves to the olfactory receptors in a person's nose. that's always seemed like a rude invasion to me.

however, i probably just fart in my sleep. lol.

 

Breast-feeding over the age of twenty-three. I'm twenty-four and I've given that up altogether.

 

Hehehe, Yeah that's what I meant. I simply will not fart in public. (unless we're all trapped in a car together or something... then god have mercy on your souls...) I just think it's terrible (yet somehow still funny), and I wish more people felt like I did about this.

 

Apart from the obvious (no sex with children under six or animals smaller than a medium-sized rabbit, no genocide, no coprophagia...) these come to mind:

I would never want to own a gun.
I would never use racial / ethnic insults.
I would never burn a church when sober.
I would never masturbate to snuff porn.
I would never let anyone suffer if there's a quicker way out (rather pulling out the breathing tube than the feeding tube...).
I would never salute the flag or say 'I believe in the constutional monarchy of the Netherlands...' or anything stupid like that even if I had to.
I would never pray to any god even if I had to.
I would never do hard drugs.

That's kind of it.
